Subject: Do They Still Make Things Like This?

Hey Y'all,
I was doing some research fo my novel, as a big 80s Christmas scene in coming, and looked to an old Sears, Christmas catalogue for gifts, and I noticed this:

An entire bedroom set devoted to Strawberry Shortcake. (I saw others for the Smurfs, Garfield--I didn't know Garfield was THAT serious--Return of the Jedi and The Smurfs) The child that got these sets must have done backflips, but I wonder, do they still make sets like that aimed at children?
I had a few themed sheet sets--I LOVED my Hook movie one--but I don't think I've seen like whole theme rooms like this, since I was a child. And if I had a child, I'd love to do her room like this.

They still do make them, only the themes and styles are different than they were 29-30 years ago. I just saw various ones now when I did a search.

Well that's cool. I'm sure Barbie is still around and that's fine for any little girl. LOL.
